Karen Dalton (1937-1993) was an American folk blues singer. Her bluesy, world-weary voice is often compared to that of jazz singer Billie Holiday. She sang blues, folk, country, pop, Motown − making over each song in her own style. She played the twelve string guitar and a long neck banjo.

"Fierce leading lady Clairy Browne and her harmonizing girl group, the Bangin’ Rackettes, have been tearing down the house at venues all over Australia since 2009 with highlights including touring with the Big Day Out, playing Golden Plains and Melbourne Festival. The nine piece rhythm and blues big band will take you though the hard-hitting sounds of northern soul, jump blues, doo-wop, ska and gospel with influences ranging from Etta James, Tina Turner and Prince to D’Angelo and Salt n’ Peppa. Baby Caught the Bus is an incredibly accomplished first release, moving through heart wrenching doo-wop wailing, to drunken pianos, party hysteria and tough, hard hitting soul. This collection of songs is delivered with dynamic vocal harmonies and the force of the rhythm section, with Clairy’s big soul voice and the horns leading the procession".

Eskimo folk, anyone? Well, maybe you prefer Arctic pop. Or Inuk indie... The truth is Nive Nielsen’s music is hard to pigeonhole. And that, quite literally in this case, goes with the territory. Nive is a ukulele wielding Inuit artist hailing from Greenland and one of the first in her country to try and do things the indie way. That is no mean feat, since her hometown, the capital city of Nuuk, does not boast any record stores, let alone underground ethics. It is so remote there aren’t even any roads connecting the towns. Go figure...

From Extravagant, Grotesque and Nonchalant lp (2010, Back to Mono Records). "... The universe of Tara King th. becomes a milestone of the sixties and of the future. Melody-driven and hypnotizing, down-to-earth and celestial, The Tara King th. conjure up spaghetti western delicatessen, future-gone-retro or acid rock from the early 70's. They cast a psychedelic pop in black and white spells and glamourize their cranked up amps".
